I'm not a Mormon, but I do have a question for you:

According to LDS theology, the univerve has countless planets scattered about the cosmos that are populated by celestial "gods". Exceptional members of the church will be elevated to "godhood" after death and recieve their own planet over which to rule. The "god" of this planet, the church teaches, was once simply a man himself.

According to the FE model, however, the planets are actually fairly small, and revolve around the sun (which itself is only 32 miles across), and that the circular plane we live on (Earth) is unique.

As someone who claims to be both a Latter-Day Saint and a Flat-Earther, how do you reconcile these vast discrepancies?

Just curious.

Yup! After all, zeteticists are known for accepting illogical things they've been taught as true by blind faith alone, right?

I for one am preparing my earthy mortal self so that I may ascend to godhood once I die. I hope I'll please God enough to recieve his blessings.
